It’s no secret that Tweets contain a wealth of information and with the proper search algorithm, one can find very interesting patterns using the data.*TweetMap, a prototype twitter search application*allows you to search for the geographic and temporal distribution of words used in Tweets and visualizes them in a pretty decent map.

MapD, the startup behind the application TweetMap was interestingly*born out of the necessity to speed up the process of finding patterns in tweets about Arab Spring.
The*Mapd Tweetmap*allows you to search for the geographical and temporal distribution of words used in Twitter messages around the world. The SF based startup’s tool allows anyone to query the Twitter database (between 1st Nov, 2014 and 28th Feb, 2015) for any hashtag (or word, but why would you really! its twitter after all) and visualise the results on the map. Whether you decide to use dot map or the choropleth map, I leave it up to the cartographer in you
